QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
AUTO-DIMMING MIRROR
FEATURING
AUTO-DIMMING FEATURE
During nighttime driving, this feature will automatically detect and help eliminate annoying rearview mirror glare. The auto-dimming feature defaults to the ON position each time the vehicle is started.
ADJUSTING THE MIRROR
Before you start driving, adjust the rearview mirror to provide a clear view through the center of the rear window.
CLEANING MIRROR
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly onto the mirror as damage to internal circuitry may result.
THROUGH GLASS INDICATORS
The HomeLink indicator is an example of a “through glass” indicator. When not in use, this item will not be visible, as it is behind the reflective surface. When illuminated it will become visible, through the glass.
Programming a New HomeLink Button
The following steps show how to program a HomeLink button. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to the HomeLink website at www.homelink.com or call the toll-free HomeLink hotline at 1-800-355-3515.
- When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park the vehicle outside of the garage.
- It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
- Place the ignition switch to the ON position for programming of HomeLink.
-
Press and release the HomeLink button (1), (2) or (3), you would like to program(Fig. 2). The HomeLink indicator light will flash orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”).
-
Position the garage door opener remote 1 – 3 inches (2 – 8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons (Fig. 3).
-
While the HomeLink indicator light (Fig. 1) is flashing orange, press and hold the hand-held remote button. Continue pressing the hand-held remote button until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
-
Wait until your garage door comes to a complete stop, regardless of position, before proceeding to the next steps.
-
Press and release the HomeLink button you are programming and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light remains constant green, your device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed. At this point, if your device operates, programming is complete.
• If the indicator light rapidly flashes green, firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the HomeLink button up to three times in a row slowly to complete the programming process. Do not press the HomeLink button rapidly. At this point, if your device operates, programming is complete. If the device does not operate, continue with step 6. -
At the garage door opener motor, (security gate motor, etc.) locate the “Learn,” “Set” or “Program” button (Fig. 4). This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit (see the device’s manual to identify this button). The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Note: A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
-
Firmly press and release the “Learn,” “Set” or “Program” button. You now have 30 seconds in which to complete the next step.
-
Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release, the HomeLink button up to three times in a row slowly. Do not press the HomeLink button rapidly. At this point programming is complete and your device should operate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
Two Way Communication Programming
(FOR SELECT GARAGE DOOR OPENERS)
If your garage door opener has the myQ® logo on its side, your opener likely
has two-way communication capability. HomeLink has the capability to establish
two-way communication with your garage door opener. HomeLink can receive and
display “closing” or “opening” status messages from compatible garage door
openers. At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded
status communicated by the garage door opener to indicate your garage door is
“closed” or “opened”.
To check if your garage door opener is compatible with this feature, refer to
www.homelink.com/compatible/two-way-
communication. If
your garage door opener has this functionality, HomeLink mirror garage door
status indicators (Fig. 1) should appear after the completion of programming,
and no further training will be needed. If while your garage door is
opening/closing, you do not see the indicators, use the following instructions
to enable this functionality.
- In your vehicle, press and hold the trained HomeLink button for 2 seconds, then release. Confirm that the garage door is moving. When it stops, you will have one minute to complete the following steps: Note: A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps.
- On your garage door opener in your garage, locate the “Learn” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener). If there is difficulty locating this button, reference the device’s owner’s manual.
- Press and release the “Learn” button.
- Light on your garage door opener may flash, and your two-way HomeLink indicators in your vehicle may flash, confirming completion of the process.
- Press and release the trained HomeLink button to activate your garage door. The status indicators will show when the door is moving.
- Your two-way communication programming is now complete.
Note: It is possible for HomeLink to stop working with the garage door system shortly after initial programming if the Two-Way Communication Programming wasn’t properly completed. If you experience this, completing steps 6-8 in the “Programming a New HomeLink Button” section will restore door operation.
CANADIAN PROGRAMMING
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals to “time-out”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmission, which may not be long enough
for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate
operator or garage door opener by using the programming procedures, replace
“Programming a New Button” step 3 with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and release
(“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two seconds until the HomeLink
indicator light (Fig. 1) changes from orange to green. You may now release the
hand-held remote button.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 4.
HOMELINK FEATURE
The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up
to three handheld radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate
compatible devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, and home lighting.
NOTE: HomeLink will only work while the vehicle ignition is in the ON
position for this vehicle configuration.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK FEATURE:
- Press and release one of the HomeLink buttons (1, 2, or 3) that have been programmed.
- The HomeLink indicator will operate as below:
– Indicates green and is continuously ON (Fixed Code Garage Door Opener)
– Flashes in green rapidly (Rolling Code Garage Door Opener)
ERASING A HOMELINK BUTTON:
To erase memory, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (“1” & “3”).
The HomeLink indicator will turn continuously ON for about 10 seconds. Release
only when the Green indicator light begins to flash rapidly. Now the HomeLink
button memories are cleared.

**** Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised
to park outside of the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door
that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse – does not
meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com, or call HomeLink
customer support at 1-800-355-3515.
It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the handheld
transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
